Peaks
Browse the documented peaks and summits throughout South Downs National Park. This collection identifies elevated landforms that characterize the terrain, offering a spatial overview of high points found from the western Weald to the chalk ridge.
Rivers
A river is a substantial natural watercourse that flows through a defined channel toward another river, lake, wetland, sea, or inland basin. Its system may include tributaries, distributaries, floodplains, seasonal reaches, gorges, waterfalls, and deltas far beyond any single mapped park relationship. The distinction from a stream depends on local convention, scale, and source usage rather than one universal rule.

Natural springs
A spring is a natural outlet where groundwater emerges at the land surface and may feed a stream, pool, wetland, lake, or river. Springs form where aquifers, fractures, permeable layers, or water tables intersect the surface and can be permanent, seasonal, thermal, mineralized, or intermittent. The general type excludes a hot spring or geyser unless geothermal heating or eruptive behavior is specifically established.
Viewpoints
A viewpoint is a named observation location from which surrounding terrain, water, or other natural features can be seen and interpreted. Unlike the other categories, it identifies a place defined by its outlook rather than a landform or hydrological system in its own right. It may be entirely natural, lightly adapted, or supported by built infrastructure, but that distinction requires feature-specific evidence.
